Have to agree it is a serious buyers market. Mid $50Ks is probably best case and low $50Ks if you want to move it fast. Unfortunately the $16K+ in wood and leather upgrades (not including aditional $3600 for full supple leather) translates into little to no additional resale value especially in the current market. However, it does distinguish your car from the other 250+ 2006 Carrera Cabs currently on the market!

Thats amazing - car is awesome and i love the options and coloring. I'm no expert but you have a warranty, Tubi, wheels, great options. Its worth more than a run of the mill 2006. GL.

Exhaust and wheels don't bring much if any added resale value and may actually deter more buyers than they attract. OP would likely be better off returning car to stock and selling Tubi exhaust and wheels separately. Probably can get $3- $4K (just guessing) for wheels and exhaust if listed on RL???

I would second that.

It's a way cool car and someone looking for something special will love it and probably pay above market.
Ask me I did!

Can you post a picture of the car with the stock wheels? How does the Tubi sound and is it tolerable on longer distance drives?

Any known cosmetic or mechanical issues?

Stock wheels were "lobsters" which I sold for, IIRC, about 100 bucks apiece as part of my trade in for the Champion wheels.

Tubi exhaust is music to the ear....whether you are going to the local market or a hundred miles away on a weekend trip. I thought long and hard about exhaust before purchasing a tubi....drove a Porsche "sport" sounding exhaust and others but ended up with tubi because of the growl that cannot be duplicated. Also put tubi tips on.....80mm wide....amplifies the sound.

No mechanical issues....changed oil 4 times in 4 years... has bridgestones on that have about 300 miles on em.

2 years ago while stopped at a light a distracted dingbat teenage girl tapped my rear bumper at about 5 mph resulting in a scratch on the right rear,very small,about 2". I did not repair or repaint because of fear any job would be worse than the scratch. I did not have any confidence Porsche shop or independent shop could duplicate my PTS color.

Hope that answers your questions.

You have a seriously beautiful car. If you have the time, wait for the right buyer - low 50s is what someone who doesn't really want exactly your car will pay. High 50s is what someone who really wants your car will pay.
